Ubisoft has set expectations for its triple-A portfolio for the coming fiscal year. The company has re-affirmed releases of anticipated titles for the year ending March 31, 2016.

For those wondering about The Division, Ubisoft still says to expect it in the coming financial year. Note that this doesn’t necessarily mean 2015, as the final quarter occurs in 2016.

I bet one of those is a Watch_Dogs sequel.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Just dance

 

[LuuKyK]

As if there was ever any doubt that a new AC was coming.

I think at this point I wouldnt be surprised if they released two every year.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Too soon maybe next year.

 

[MillionStabs]

Alright, more high quality Ubisoft games. 5 of them!

 

[OnionPowder]

Sweet we'll finally get Beyond Good & Evil 2

 

[Philippo]

Watch_Dogs 2: Aiden's New Hat, March/Spring 2016, E3 reveal.

 

[Bgamer90]

Really pumped for Rainbow Six.

 

[CozMick]

Can't wait for Rainbow Six, I hope they don't fuck it up like the rest of their franchises.

 

[joeygreco1985]

God damn just give me The Division now!

 

[TomShoe]

Looks like The Division is probably getting moved back to Spring 2016. No chance it made 2015, what they're trying to do seems way too ambitious. More time to brace myself for disappointment, I suppose.

"Quality"

 

[delSai]

Im so hyped for Rainbow Six.

 

[ViciousDS]

This E3 is really gonna blow the doors off on games isn't it.........everything points to this fiscal year being fucking stacked....like 2007 insane!

 

[Tambini]

So..many..sidequests

 

[Corpsepyre]

Where is my Prince of Persia, Ubisoft?!?!?

 

[dex3108]

No they didn't confirmed 5 AAA titles for this year. I have listened conference call and they said that only titles that are confirmed are AC, Division and Rainbow Six. More about new lineup in May.

 

[DieH@rd]

I have high hopes for Division. Hopefully it will end up being great.

 

[Makonero]

Ubisoft will announce a new IP, a Sci Fi far-flung future epic! With parkour! And laser blades! And laser guns!

And it will be essentially Assassin's Creed in space.

Now I want (as long as it works)...

From that quote it seems that The Division will be out before 31st March 2016 (so reckon it will be there March 2016 game).

 

[Dysun]

Many boxes to unlock
Many boxes that can't be unlocked without app
Many towers to climb
Many bars to fill

 

[DigitalHitmann]

For what its worth, the Com Dev told me 2015 release for The Division and its also posted on their official website as coming in 2015. Take it with a grain of salt though.

 

[Theorry]

They did that already last year.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Rainbow 6
Assassin's Creed
Just Dance
A new Rayman (?)
Brothers in Arms (?)
The Division

 

[AnthonypUK]

re Rainbow 6: People are hyped for a ubisoft game? after last year, really?

 

[Shock_Wave]

Splinter Cell baby.
I can feel it.

 

[x24hrs2livex]

I have high hopes for The Division and Rainbow 6. Hopefully the new AC game can redeem itself after the travesty of Unity. Is it too early for a new Far Cry?

 

[Nirolak]

I would guess a March Splinter Cell and maybe another Far Cry since they like annualizing things.

 

[DigitalHitmann]

I played Rainbow Six last year at E3 and I watched The Division's press briefing 4x. Three times in the theatre booth and once at the VIP Twitch stream. I have extremely high hopes for both.

Hoping they let me place the barb wire in the bathtubs now.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

re Rainbow 6: People are hyped for a ubisoft game? after last year, really?

Far cry 4 was pretty good

 

[Lakitu]

I would guess a March Splinter Cell and maybe another Far Cry since they like annualizing things.

Splinter Cell? I thought Blacklist sold poorly?

 

[Led_Zeppelin]

Lest start a betting pool to see which ones are going to be completely broken, which ones functional and which ones will work with out issues

Spoiler

HAHAHA yeah right

!

 

[The_Dama]

Hope Rainbow Six is in 2015. My #1 most anticipated game of this year.

 

[OnionPowder]

I don't see Far Cry being annualized, but I do see another spin-off ala Blood Dragon.

 

[shinobi602]

Splinter Cell? I thought Blacklist sold poorly?

It had sold 2 million units a few months after launch, no idea what lifetime sales are now. In any case, a new Splinter Cell's been in development for a little while now.

 

[theWB27]

My favorite franchise in Assassins Creed and my most anticipated title in The Division. Cant wait!!!!!

 

[Justified]

Thinking back, I think that first Division trailer was what locked me in to buying the PS4 day one.

 

[Theorry]

Rainbow 6
Assassin's Creed
Just Dance
A new Rayman (?)
Brothers in Arms (?)
The Division

I gave up on seeing a Brothers in Arms very soon. It was never big money maker, And Ubisoft is Ubisoft now. Maybe its good for the game that Gearbox and Ubisoft get their act together first. Would be very sad if they messed up that franchise also.

It disappointed, but they implied they were going to make another one anyway.

I can't imagine they're going to give it a zillion years in development if it's not selling amazingly in general.

 

[ClaptoVaughn]

Ubisoft will announce a new IP, a Sci Fi far-flung future epic! With parkour! And laser blades! And laser guns!

And it will be essentially Assassin's Creed in space.

And still include some kind of tower climbing.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Splinter Cell: Blacklist 2, Prince of Persia 2008-2, New Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six Siege, AssCreed and Far Cry: Blood Dragon 2.

 

[shinobi602]

Indeed, what's series averaged game wise for each installment? Any idea?

Shhh!!!! Don't give them any ideas- they already did that once.

Bring on Rainbow Six!!!!!!!! Also I would like The Division to be good.

 

[Nirolak]

Doing some googling searching it looks like around 2-3 million an entry.

I mean that was successful back when it came out, but if we just waltz over to the Ubisoft sales thread we can see why that seems bad now.

They were aiming for 5 million with Blacklist, which is where the highest end publishers generally want retail titles to be (mid-tier are usually still is okay with 2-3 generally): http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=96022855

To note that's not exactly a cost issue, but more like a "Why don't we just put this studio on Far Cry instead?" issue.

 

[cackhyena]

Can R6 come this fall plz?

Ahh, thanks. They seem to have been satisfied with prior entry sales so their projection must have always been around 2-3 million each. I wonder why they felt Blacklist would shift 5 million units.

 

[KingJ2002]

Here's hoping for a new installment of Prince of Persia, Ghost Recon or Splinter Cell

Why not new Ip?

 

[FunkyLounge]

Who could even climb that many towers in a single year?
